“It’s a big effort for us, and I don’t think there’s a human being in the world who hasn’t heard of the Star Wars movie coming. And so, [it’s a] great opportunity,” Jorgensen said about Battlefront, which launches for Xbox One, PS4, and PC on November 17. “We struck a licensing deal with Disney a few years back that’s almost ten years in length. The game that comes out tomorrow, Star Wars Battlefront, is a traditional first-person style shooter game. Our goal is to make future Battlefront games as well as other style games around the Star Wars franchise, both on mobile as well as console and PC. It’s a huge opportunity for us.”

“The beauty of theStar Wars franchise is it’s almost unlimited in what you can do with it” — Jorgensen

Also during the presentation, Jorgensen confirmed that EA’s deal with Disney not only covers the six Star Wars films released to date (Battlefront focuses on the Original Trilogy), but also The Force Awakens and other upcoming core installments and spinoff entries in the series.

In addition, he reiterated that EA has no plans to make movie tie-ins.

“We get access to all of the historical content as well as all the new content developed,” Jorgensen said. “The beauty of theStar Wars franchise is it’s almost unlimited in what you can do with it. We know Disney has done a great job with other franchises and we believe they’ll do the same with Star Warsover time in delivering new worlds, new characters, new vehicles, all the things that make great video games. Our goal is not to make video games directly about the movies, it’s to use the IP in the movie to make great, exciting games.”

The only major rule that EA’s Star Wars games must adhere to is that they need to stay true to the franchise’s established fiction. “You can’t do something counter to Star Wars and that’s fine with us because I think that’s why people love Star Wars,” Jorgensen said.

Overall, Jorgensen described EA’s partnership with Disney as being “one of the best its ever seen.” He noted specifically that Disney has been very helpful in providing EA’s development team with the content and access they need to make great games.
